The current research examines the French version of the Coping PRODUCTIVITY: TIME OF DAY, DAY OF WEEK, AND Expectancies Scale (CES-F; Friedman-Wheeler et al., MORNINGNESS EFFECTS unpublished), a vignette-measure of beliefs about the effectiveness of particular coping strategies.

More course of daily life. Ableism entails biased ideas and recently, such studies have also demonstrated that patients with assumptions, as well as prejudicial attitudes and discriminatory MTL lesions have cognitive impairments that extend beyond the acts aimed at people with disabilities. I will examine how and why domain of long-term memory, to include short-term memory, ableism poses distinct social and psychological advantages for perception, and future thinking. This presentation will illustrate outsiders (the nondisabled) over insiders (people with the scope of impairments seen in patients with MTL lesions. In so disabilities). I present four theories accounting for outsiders’ doing, it will highlight insights gleaned from the study of amnesic ableism directed at insiders: just world theory, mourning, patients about the nature of the processes and representations suffering and meaning, and the fundamental negative bias. I then mediated by different aspects of the MTL. In addition, it will discuss consequences of ableism for people with disabilities, demonstrate how neuropsychological studies of amnesia have including internalized ableism, deindividuation, stigmatization and simultaneously sharpened distinctions between discrete aspects stereotyping, and the problems posed by benign ableism. I of memory and blurred distinctions between episodic memory conclude by arguing that ableism represents a form of outsider and other cognitive functions. I will argue that the link between privilege, one allowing nondisabled people to feel, think, and act memory and other cognitive functions can be understood with in ways that often unknowingly promote their social and reference to core computational mechanisms subserved by the psychological interests over people with disabilities. hippocampus and other MTL regions.

High TSR predicted high trait prosociality and low procrastination, Event Empire even when controlling for BAS and impulsiveness. Following HISTORY EVENT: SALUTING OLIVIA J. HOOKER self-evaluative threat, TSR moderated the effects of (1915-2018): A LEGENDARY PSYCHOLOGIST conservatism on outgroup prejudice. Only at mean and low levels Saturday, March 2, 2019 of TSR was there a significant positive relationship between 5:00pm-6:20pm conservatism and prejudice. Finally, high TSR may help mitigate the negative effects of social exclusion on affect, self-esteem, and control. CHAIR: HAROLD TAKOOSHIAN 5:40pm - 5:55pm SALUTING OLIVIA J. HOOKER (1915-2018): A LEGENDARY PSYCHOLOGIST MINDFULNESS MODERATES THE RELATION BETWEEN CONSCIENTIOUSNESS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Across her 103 years, psychologist Olivia J. Hooker (1915-2018) was an inspiration to all around her--as a gifted teacher at RYAN E. OLOUGHLIN (NAZARETH COLLEGE), JAMES W. Fordham, talented researcher at the Kennedy Child Study FRYER (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT POTSDAM) Center, role model and leader in her community. In this hour of tribute, the audience joins some of her colleagues, to share how The current investigation tested the moderating role that Dr. Hooker's life touched theirs. Among others, this includes Gail mindfulness plays in the relation between conscientiousness and Wright Sirmans, David S. Glenwick, Dolores O. Morris, Harold physical activity. Online participants (N = 183) reported their Takooshian. conscientiousness, mindfulness, and weekly exercise activity. Mindfulness significantly moderated the Saturday, March 2, 2019 conscientiousness-exercise relation, wherein those high on mindfulness had a more positive relation between 5:00pm-6:20pm conscientiousness and exercise, compared to those low on

mindfulness. These results support previous calls for moderators Paper Chelsea of the trait-physical activity connection. SOCIAL PAPERS: IDENTITY/PERSONALITY Saturday, March 2, 2019 6:00pm - 6:15pm 5:00pm-6:20pm WHY DO GROUP MEMBERS CHOOSE TO LEAD SPECIFIC GROUPS? CHAIR: RYAN E. O'LOUGHLIN JEFF RAMDASS (CLAREMONT GRADUATE UNIVERSITY)

5:00pm - 5:15pm Framed by the social identity theory of leadership (Hogg et al.,

2012), the present research investigated group-level motivations DOES ETHNIC IDENTITY = RACIAL IDENTITY? to lead specific groups. In study 1, a phenomenological

qualitative analysis with interviews from student-leaders (N=10) TINA REIFSTECK, LUIS M. RIVERA (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY) found nine motivations to lead a specific group. In study 2, a

between-subjects experimental design (N=252) found that Social psychologists have tacitly assumed that ethnic and racial high-group identifiers were more likely to lead a group than identity processes stem from the same mental representations, low-group identifiers. This pattern differed from participants’ but this flies in the face of theoretical distinctions between intra-individual motivation-to-lead (Chan & Drasgow, 2001) ethnicity and race. Basically, ethnicity refers to culture and race refers to phenotype. Our experimental data with Black, Latinx, and White participants (N=573) support a distinct cognitive processes approach, suggesting a need for nuanced identity research that captures the complexities of racial and ethnic identities.
